Lemailu Posted August 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2013 First cruise with Oceania on Nautica, hence this question. How costly are drinks on board? We would only be interested in one beer for lunch, one glass of champagne in the evening or a cocktail, one to two glasses of wine for dinner and an after-dinner drink only once in a while. Is it worth taking a package? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted August 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yes it is, its easy and a great value. With what you say you'll drink you'll do better than price per drink. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemailu Posted August 9, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thank you - will follow your advice. And...one more question : do we need to carry US dollars or will Euros be ok for tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistaman Posted August 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thank you - will follow your advice.And...one more question : do we need to carry US dollars or will Euros be ok for tips? a glass of - real - Champagne Perrier Jouet is already 15 $ + 18 % gratuity - maybe increased already. if you take the package you can drink 2 and a Cognac XO after dinner drink what is 25 $ cheapest glass of wine is 9 $ currency on board is US - but when sailing in Europa i think the people on board are happy with Euro's as well however the "compulsory " tips must be paid in the offioce with dollars.

Don't the "compulsory" tips get added onto your on board account then ? If not I need to get US$ tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted August 9, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Don't the "compulsory" tips get added onto your on board account then ? If not I need to get US$ tomorrow! The cost of the cocktail plus the tip is added to the Onboard Account for each transaction. Unless you buy into the Beverage Package, which is a wonderful value if you are any kind of a drinker at all, in which case there is a daily fee of $54.95 per day, including all cocktail related gratuities.
